Fatelvis, a Wylde chamber was built by Bill Wylde for Highpower shooters. Knowing we needed a long throat for our really long bullets, he built a reamer that had an almost GI speck throat (GI throats are so long you can often not touch them with an 80 or 90 grainer seated al the way out). His throat was obviously shorter than GI so that you could touch the rifling if you wanted and so that the freebore was limited, but it is much longer than that of the .223 SAAMI standard. In addition, he made the chamber slightly larger than a "match" chamber because semi-autos shouldn't have tight chambers when reliability is required. If you need exact numbers (throat angle, throat length, and such) I can get them for you.
